Are you noticing, too? It's just spring here in Missouri, but I can tell, It's summer, somewhere. That's because the vegetables, even at the grocery store, are so sweet and perfect, miracle of miracles emerging somewhere from the earth. And small! You can tell, these were picked young. Usually, we must wait for vegetables like this until July or August, either from our own garden or the farmers market. But for a short window, the grocery store's produce department is a vegetable lover's heaven.

RIBBON SALAD Trim off the stem ends of the zucchini and yellow squash. With a Y-style vegetable peeler, that's the one with the wide blade, shave off thin ribbons of zucchini and yellow squash and drop into the Vinaigrette. Add the onion. Gently stir to coat the ribbons with Vinaigrette.

PLATE Arrange the ribbons in graceful fashion on a plate. Dust with shaved parmesan. Devour!

The produce section at my local supermarket has been a lot more fun lately! Some really good quality. I'm seeing great zucchini, too. Love these ribbons! Such a nice shape. Thanks.
